Power Supply and Demand Outlook in This Summer and Measures(8th Release)
In order to continue to "in principle avoidance" of planned blackouts, we
will continue our efforts to maintain supply capacity and request for
conserving electricity. Today, we have reviewed the demand outlook after
July 30 and will announce as follows.

<Demand and Supply outlook of each weeks in August>
<Key changes after the July 22nd report>
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused, and appreciate your corporation to save power usage, END <Reference> Supply and demand outlook at the end of August
*Maximum peak load for the last summer was recorded 59.99 GW (July 23rd). Estimated peak demand of 55 GW for this summer is 5GW lower than that of least year. This incorporates the saving of electricity from "Outline of Countermeasures for Power Supply and Demand during summertime" and restoration from decrease of production due to the quake. *We would like to supply maximum of 1.4GW to Tohoku Electric Power Company by thoroughly implementing both supply and demand countermeasures in order to support balance of demand and supply in the Tohoku area, which suffered severe damage from the quake. The supply capacity in this regard will be 54.7GW at the end of August. *Pumped Storage Hydro of 7,000MW is incorporated in this outlook. In case of severe demand and supply balance conditions, storage amount of upper dam and demand trend at that moment will be taken in account and Pumped Storage Hydro capacity will be carefully examined and reflected to the total supply capacity.
